CBI arrests long-absconding accused in fodder scam after 25 years

Digital Desk | Lucknow/New Delhi, Oct 23 (IANS) The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested Satyendra Kumar, a proclaimed offender in a fodder scam case, ending a manhunt that lasted more than two and a half decades. The accused, who had been on the run since the charge sheet was filed against him in 2001, was apprehended at Lucknow Railway Station around midnight on October 22. According to the CBI, Satyendra Kumar absconded soon after the charge sheet was filed in court. As he repeatedly failed to appear for trial, the court issued a permanent warrant of arrest against him. For over 25 years, the agency continued efforts to locate the absconder through sustained physical and technical surveillance, combined with human intelligence inputs. These efforts eventually led investigators to Nepal, where the accused had been staying. Recently, Satyendra Kumar entered India and boarded a train from Guna in Madhya Pradesh bound for Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh on October 22. Acting on specific intelligence about his movement, the CBI constituted a dedicated team and deployed it at Lucknow Railway Station well before the arrival of the train. As the train reached the station around midnight, the team successfully identified and apprehended the accused. He was formally arrested and is now being brought to Ranchi on transit remand for production before the competent court to face trial in the long-pending case. The fodder scam, one of the major corruption cases investigated by the CBI, involved large-scale embezzlement of public funds in the animal husbandry department of Bihar and Jharkhand. Several accused were charge-sheeted in the early 2000s, but some, including Satyendra Kumar, managed to evade arrest for years. Officials said the arrest was a result of the agencys persistence in pursuing long-pending cases and bringing absconders to justice, irrespective of the time elapsed. The accused will now face the legal process that was delayed for more than a quarter of a century.

Digital Desk | Patna, Oct 23 (IANS) Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge will visit Patna on October 25 to attend a state-level celebration marking the birth anniversary of Shrikrishna Singh, popularly known as Bihar Kesari and the first Chief Minister of Bihar. The event will be held at Bapu Sabhagar, where Congress leaders will pay tribute to his contributions to the freedom struggle, social justice and the development of modern Bihar.

The Congress leaders highlighted the contributions of Shrikrishna Singh, affectionately known as Shri Babu, to Bihars political, social and economic transformation. Akhilesh Singh said his life and public service were dedicated to the upliftment of the underprivileged, exploited and marginalised sections of society. He recalled Singhs role in Indias freedom movement and his contribution to shaping Bihar after Independence. Rajesh Ram particularly highlighted his role in the abolition of the zamindari system, describing it as a significant step towards social and economic reform. He also recalled his initiative to facilitate the entry of Dalits into the historic Deoghar temple, citing it as an important milestone in the struggle against caste-based discrimination and social exclusion. The Bihar Congress said the programme would seek to familiarise the younger generation and the wider public with Shri Babus ideals, political legacy and vision of social equality. The party intends to highlight his contribution to institution-building and the development of Bihar. Rajesh Ram appealed to citizens, intellectuals, social activists and Congress workers from across the state to attend the celebration in large numbers. He said the event would provide an opportunity to remember Shri Babus contributions and reaffirm the values of social justice, equality and inclusive development associated with his legacy. The October 25 programme is being organised as a major state-level tribute to one of Bihars most prominent political figures, with the Congress seeking to bring his historical contributions and ideals into public discussion.

Bihar MLC polling ends; graduate turnout at 43.87 pc and teachers at 74.55 pc

Digital Desk | Patna, Oct 23 (IANS) Polling for eight Bihar Legislative Council seats concluded at 4 pm on Friday, with the four teachers constituencies recording a higher voter turnout than the four graduate constituencies. According to Election Commission data, turnout stood at 43.87% in the graduate constituencies and 74.55% in the teachers constituencies as of 4 pm. Polling began at 8 am and continued until 4 pm. A total of 150 candidates were in the fray for the eight seats, with the counting of votes scheduled for October 27. Among the graduate constituencies, Patna recorded a turnout of 36.19%, Tirhut 42.15%, Darbhanga 42% and Kosi 52.51%. Kosi registered the highest turnout among the four graduate constituencies, while Patna recorded the lowest. In the teachers constituencies, Saran recorded the highest turnout at 87.16%, followed by Darbhanga at 79%, Tirhut at 78.10% and Patna at 56.89%. The overall turnout in the teachers constituencies was substantially higher than in the graduate constituencies. Meanwhile, RJD leader and Leader of the Opposition Tejashwi Yadav expressed confidence that his party would win all eight seats, claiming that its candidates were receiving positive feedback from voters. He also alleged electoral irregularities, including vote theft, the presence of fake voters and fraudulent voting. Tejashwi further accused the administration of using money and government machinery to influence the election. These allegations were not independently verified. On the other hand, incumbent BJP MLC and candidate Naval Kishore Yadav expressed confidence in retaining the Patna Teachers Constituency seat. After casting his vote at DAV School in Rajvanshi Nagar, Patna, he predicted a decisive victory, using the cricketing metaphor of hitting a six. Naval Kishore Yadav said teachers in Patna had consistently supported him and pointed out that he had won the seat five consecutive times over a period of 30 years. He expressed confidence that the teaching community would back him again. The BJP candidate further claimed that his opponents would lose their security deposits and that his victory margin would be larger than in previous elections. He alleged that his opponents were making baseless accusations because of the support he enjoyed among teachers. With polling now over, attention has shifted to the counting of votes on October 27, when the electoral fortunes of all 150 candidates will be decided.

Bihar: Anant Singh supporter Chhotu Singh detained in Patna amid MLC polling

Digital Desk | Patna, Oct 23 (IANS) Police detained Chhotu Singh, a supporter of Mokama MLA Anant Singh, in Patna on Friday amid polling for eight Bihar Legislative Council seats. The District Intelligence Unit (DIU) team reportedly apprehended him from the Karbigahiya area under the jurisdiction of the Jakkanpur police station over concerns about a possible law-and-order situation. He was subsequently handed over to the local police for further action. The detention comes amid heightened security arrangements during the Legislative Council elections. However, an official statement detailing the reasons for his detention and the further action taken against him was awaited. Earlier on Friday, a confrontation broke out near a polling station in Mokama between supporters of JD(U) candidate Neeraj Kumar and those of Anuj Kumar Singh, who is backed by Anant Singh and is contesting on a Jan Suraaj Party ticket. The dispute reportedly began with a heated verbal exchange between the two groups and escalated into a commotion, prompting police intervention. Barh SDPO Ramkrishna reached the spot with a police team, dispersed the crowd and detained three to four people, who were taken to the police station. The incident occurred during polling for the Patna Graduates Constituency. JD(U) has fielded Neeraj Kumar as its official candidate, while Anant Singh, a JD(U) MLA from Mokama, is supporting Anuj Kumar Singh of the Jan Suraaj Party. Anant Singhs support for a candidate other than his partys official nominee has sparked discussion about political equations in the constituency and possible differences within the JD(U). The election for the Patna Graduates' constituency has drawn attention this time not only due to the candidacies involved but also because of the political backing and local dynamics at play. The role of Anant Singh in the contest between Neeraj Kumar and Anuj Kumar Singh has further intensified the electoral atmosphere. Amidst heated political rhetoric and clashes between opposing supporters, the outcome will only be revealed once the votes are counted.

Ballot voting underway for Legislative Council polls, BJP and SP leaders trade barbs

Digital Desk | Ghaziabad, Oct 23 (IANS) Voting for the Legislative Council elections in Ghaziabad began at 8 a.m. on Friday, with voters arriving at polling stations in the district amid security arrangements. BJP MLA Nandkishor Gurjar, who was present at the booth, described the election as an important exercise, arguing that voting through ballot papers would put to the test the oppositions allegations regarding electronic voting machines (EVMs) and electoral malpractice. Targeting Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and other opposition leaders, Gurjar alleged that they questioned the electoral process when the BJP won elections but remained silent when their parties secured victories in other states. He said the current election, conducted through ballot papers, would provide an opportunity to assess the BJPs electoral support beyond the debate surrounding EVMs. This election is very important, Gurjar said, adding that BJP workers worked tirelessly to strengthen the party at the grassroots level. Expressing confidence in the partys leadership at the state and regional levels, the BJP MLA said opposition leaders would have to reconsider their allegations if the BJP secured a victory despite their criticism. He further claimed that allegations of EVM manipulation and vote theft amounted to an insult to the people who elected their representatives. Gurjar also said the ballot-based election would mark a new chapter in the countrys electoral history. Meanwhile, in Varanasi, Samajwadi Party MLA Ragini Sonkar appealed to voters to ensure a decisive victory for the partys candidates. She accused the BJP of creating an atmosphere of hooliganism, particularly in the education sector, and alleged that the ruling partys policies were adversely affecting students and young people. Sonkar claimed that children were being deprived of educational opportunities and that the youth were struggling to secure employment. She urged voters to support the Samajwadi Party, presenting the election as an opportunity to register their dissatisfaction with the BJPs governance. Polling began on Friday for 28 legislative Council seats across Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Karnataka and Maharashtra, with voters turning up at designated booths. In Uttar Pradesh, polling is being held for five graduate and six teacher constituencies, while Bihar is having elections for four graduate and four teacher constituencies.

Tejashwi Yadav accuses Bihar govt of 'misusing' police against RJD candidate

Digital Desk | Patna, Oct 23 (IANS) Leader of the Opposition in the Bihar Assembly, Tejashwi Yadav, on Friday accused the state government of misusing state machinery to harass opposition leaders and workers. Tejashwi Yadav shared a video of an incident on social media, reportedly recorded at the residence of Dr Sanjeev Kumar and his brother, Rajiv Kumar. Sanjeev Kumar is the RJD candidate for the Patna Teachers constituency in the ongoing Bihar Legislative Council elections. The video shows a police team checking the identity documents of people present outside the house. When the police attempted to enter the premises, Sanjeev Kumars supporters objected and demanded to see the official authorisation for the search. In the video, a police officer is heard explaining that the team had received information about the presence of outsiders at the residence after the permitted campaign period had ended. The officer said the police would verify their identities and leave if no irregularities were found. In the social post, Tejashwi Yadav alleged that the police had arrived without a search warrant and were attempting to intimidate the RJD candidate and his supporters. He said such actions would not demoralise the party, asserting that neither RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav nor the partys leaders and workers would be cowed by the governments actions. He also accused the state leadership of taking Bihar in the wrong direction and questioned the need for such a search just before polling. Meanwhile, Sanjeev Kumars supporters alleged that the BJP candidate and incumbent MLC, Naval Kishore Yadav, had created hundreds of fake voters and brought them to Patna. They questioned why the police were searching the RJD candidates residence while, according to them, no similar action had been taken at Naval Kishore Yadavs residence. These allegations could not be independently verified. Earlier, the Patna Police arrived at the residence of Dr Sanjeev Kumar, the RJD candidate, around midnight, triggering a heated exchange with his supporters. The police said they had received information that outsiders were staying at the premises after the election campaign period ended and that their identities needed to be verified.

Digital Desk | Patna, Oct 22 (IANS) The Bihar government has set a target of providing Artificial Intelligence (AI) training to five lakh students over the next five years to enhance their employability and prepare them for emerging technological demands. Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary chaired a review meeting on the proposed Bihar Artificial Intelligence Policy 2026 at Sankalp Hall in Lok Sevak Awas on Thursday, where officials discussed measures to promote AI-based innovation, attract investment and generate employment opportunities in the state.

Delhi Police raid in Ranchi in interstate vehicle theft racket, recover 6 vehicles

Digital Desk | Ranchi, Oct 22 (IANS) The Delhi Police, with assistance from Jharkhand police, conducted a raid at a residence in Ranchi on Thursday in connection with an alleged interstate vehicle theft racket involved in stealing high-end vehicles from Delhi-NCR and disposing of them in Jharkhand, officials said. Two SUVs and four motorcycles were recovered during the operation, police said. The raid was conducted at a premises in Suhana City, under the Kanke police station area. The property is reportedly linked to a suspect associated with the vehicle theft network, but he was not present at the location during the operation. The investigation began following a series of high-end vehicle thefts reported in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR). Police subsequently traced leads suggesting that some of the stolen vehicles had been transported to Ranchi. The two recovered Thar SUVs bear Delhi registration numbers, while four motorcycles were also seized from the premises. Police are examining the registration plates and documents of the recovered vehicles to establish their ownership and determine whether they were stolen. Investigators suspect that vehicles stolen from Delhi and neighbouring areas were brought to Ranchi, where their identities may have been altered or forged documents used to sell them. Further investigation is expected to establish the origin of the recovered vehicles and their connection to the alleged racket, police said. As the suspect was not found during the raid, police are searching for him and working to identify other people allegedly involved in the network. Investigators are also examining how the vehicles were transported across state borders and disposed of. Investigation into the matter continues. In a separate investigation, a drug bust in Bihar showed that ganja was being smuggled from various states, including Jharkhand. According to reports, seizures of drug pills have reportedly increased 30-fold, while heroin use is also on the rise.
